angelfreak dogthing

please, please, please remember that this "hating transmascs" and "kill all TMEs" bullshit is just a few edgy weirdos on the internet who enjoy saying inflammatory things for shock value.

transfems are not your enemy, and YES, you do actually need to unlearn transmisogyny. Not because you're transmasc, but because we live in a transmisogynistic society.

transfems are not a hivemind, there's no broader transfem consensus that transmascs are Evil Privileged Abusers, but the small group of people who think that way WANT you to believe that they are representative of trans women everywhere. they're super not. they really are just a handful of angsty people online looking for someone to pick on.

all trans people have more commonalities than differences. there aren't two distinct species of trans people from two different planets, there are just trans people with a wide diversity of experiences and walks of life. we are all affected by the same systems of oppression.

Saw this on Twitter and figured it would be enjoyed here

I should not have to post about transmasc issues with a disclaimer that "of course" trans women are hurt worse by this. I should not have to apologize for posting about transmasc issues instead of transfemme issues.

Now, okay, I have my flaws. Being a violent loudmouth is NOT one of them. I'm generally conflict-averse, I'm pretty quiet, but more importantly I like being reliable.

So tell me why my therapist and my supervisor at work have been treating me like some punk who always talks back. I HAVE been talking back, because I'm at the end of my fucking rope with my job, where we are underpaid and understaffed and have been for months. Tell me why my therapist acts like I'm a crazy irresponsible lunatic for taking testosterone (cypionate, not the gym steroid kind) at the lowest full dose possible. As if she doesn't know me as anything but a procrastinator-but-generally-responsible kind of guy.

I'm just baffled. It doesn't matter what I do, I'm crazy and impulsive for taking a substance I've wanted for a DECADE, straight from a pharmacy (just not one in my country).

The few things I have seen however although not specifically calling it out give off they think “traitor” vibes about transfemmes who are with transmasc individuals, and that transmascs are “stealing their women”

Curious about your opinions on the topic, or if you have seen much from anyone about this.

I feel like it’s an important thing to talk about when it comes to this stuff that is seemly ignored or unthought about.

Oh I've absolutely seen posts of people talking about how transfems "need to break up with their TME/transmasc partner" and how they'll never be happy and how the TME partner will only hurt them and I've like, genuinely cried over seeing too many posts like that. On more than one occasion I've asked 🍇 if she'd be happier with another transfem and if I'm just holding her back. But she's explained to me that my gender and sex have nothing to do with making her happy.
